The new Sewerooter T-4 power drain cleaner from General Pipe Cleaners does a better job of clearing inside drainlines up to 100 feet long with 9/16-inch Flexicore cable. Dave Dunbar explains why it has more torque than traditional 1/2-inch cables, yet it can be used to clear the same 3- to 4-inch drainlines. You can clear tree roots too. Just switch drums to a 75 feet, 5/8-inch Flexicore cable to clear 3- to 6-inch lines.

The variable-speed power cable feed drives and retracts 9/16-inch and 5/8-inch cables at up to 20 feet per minute. To adjust to different cable sizes, simply turn the knob on top of the feed. The screwdriver stays in the toolbox.

The heavy-duty reinforced frame and drum support shaft takes rough handling in the field. The 1/3 hp capacitor motor has plenty of power to drive more than 100 feet of cable. And the unique self-aligning Flexitube distributor tube reduces the risk of cable tangling in the drum.

V-Belt stair climbers make it easier for you to take the machine up a flight of stairs by yourself. The handle is tall enough to make it easy to transport to the job, yet quickly folds to take up less room in your truck. Big 10-inch heavy-duty semipneumatic wheels roll easily over rough terrain. And a truck-loading wheel in the handle makes it easier for one person to lift the machine into a truck bed.
